About AdBlue What is AdBlue and what does it do? AdBlue is a highly purified colorless liquid. It contains demineralized water and urea (32.5%). AdBlue is used with diesel engines and is also known outside of Europe as DEF, ARLA 32 or AUS 32. The main active component of AdBlue is ammonia. This is chemically formed by hydrolising automotive urea, which is the main raw material for AdBlue. Urea is also used in the production of fertilizers and many more applications. AdBlue is used with diesel engines using SCR technology. About AdBlue
